Minty Video Update
NFT Wedding Rings
Bride and groom, Rebecca Rose and Peter Kacherginsky have incorporated NFTs into their wedding ceremony. Alongside their traditional Jewish ceremony, the couple sent each other ‘virtual rings’ to officially get married on the blockchain.
The name of the token is ‘Tabaat’, the Hebrew word for ‘ring’. The transparent, immutable property of blockchain technology means that this transaction will be permanently stored “as proof of our commitment to each other” - Rebecca.
SNL Mints NFT About NFTs
Last week, the Saturday Night Live cast delivered an Eminem-inspired rap about NFTs featuring Pete Davidson, Chris Redd @Reddsaidit, and guest Jack Harlow @jackharlow. In explaining “What the hell is an NFT?”, SNL has listed the video as an NFT.
The winner of the auction will receive two tickets to a taping of Saturday Night Live on a mutually agreed upon date.

“I’ve always been looking for ways to innovate for fans and shift this archaic music biz and seeing NFTs allowing creators to be seen and heard more than ever before on their terms is profoundly exciting” - TheWeeknd.
